It couldn't have anything to do with reefer bars and pot dens along with a few hash pubs sprinkled in could it ? Get a map. Pot is illegal in Sweden. You are either thinking of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, or the Christiana district in Copenhagen, Denmark. I've seen dumb high kids get arrested in Malmo,Sweden, after getting off the train from Copenhagen. High Drug mules with more piercings than functioning neurons are easy targets.
